REPORT OF SUPERINTENDANT OF STREETS.


-


The appropriation for highways and bridges, $10,500 together with the receipts, $5,794.80, gave a total of $16,294.80 which was available to meet the wants and requirements of this department the past year.


Of the amount there has been expended the past year the sum of $12,607.06 leaving a balance of $3,687.74 which is available for the coming year. This with an appropriation of $6,000 and the receipts which should be as large as in 1900 will give the department all that will be needed for highway work in 1901.


Wm. H. Smith of Dodgeville was appointed in March as division superintendent of the South division and he has had charge of the following streets; Taunton avenue, Thurber avenue, South Main street from Thacher street, to the Seekonk line, Thacher street from South Main to the railroad bridge, Read street


47


from Hebronville to the bridge at South Attleboro, Locust street and Tiffany street from South Ma'n to County street ; in all about seventeen miles of road.


There has been expended in this division the past year for general repairs and graveling the sum of $1,187.19 for the laying of a 12" drain pipe to connect the catch basin at the lower end of Dodgeville with the river which was necessary owing to the railroad wishing to occupy the land upon which the drain had formerly discharged its water. The sum of $198.49 one half of this amount was paid to the town by the Hebron Manu- facturing Company, so that the actual amount expended in the South division has been $1,286.43. South Main street has received a very serviceable dressing of the best of gravel secured from the bank at Dodgeville and which was contributed by the Hebron Manufacturing Company for which I wish to express my thanks. From Locust street to the street railroad turnout near Thurber avenue about 1.500 loads of gravel were used. There are some two or three hundred loads of stone at the bank which will be carted to the crusher this winter outside of the general cleaning up of streets, other work has been per- formed in this division on Tiffany, County and Reed streets.


George W. Allen of Brown street South Attleboro, as in the last two years, was appointed division superin- tendent of the south west division. This division has a length of about thirteen miles and comprises all of the roads north of County street and west and north of the pumping station. The amount expended by Mr. Allen for cleaning and general repairs to highways, bridges and guard rails has been $1,506.18. A large amount of the work in this district has been performed with the aid of one of the road machines owned by the town and


48


which have paid for themselves several times over in the past two years. Newport avenue from the North Attleboro line to the junction of West street was in very bad condition but by the aid of a strong team attached to the stub plow and road machine and the removal of a large amount of rocks, and the surfacing with gravel from the bank at the pumping station the road has been put in a very fair condition. The old Mendon road from Washington street to Robbin Hollow in Rhode Island has never received any attention, it ran through the woods and was so narrow that two teams could not pass, banks on both sides most of the way, were from one to three feet high. As they are building on this road, and as it is an old Town road, I have had Mr. Allen open it the entire length. Some parts of it was very rough and required a good deal of blasting, but we now have a fairly good road, some eighteen feet wide, at an expense of something like $200. All of the roads have received more or less attention. A large amount of material has been removed from the streets and over 1,500 loads of gravel used for repairs.


Walter L. Manchester was re-appointed as division superintendent of the West Division, and without excep- tion has been one of the most faithful men that has ever held the position of division superintendent. His divi- sion comprised West street from North Main street to the pumping station; Tiffany street, from County to West; Clifton street, Deantown road, North avenue, Me- chanics street, form West to Dennis street ; Dennis street County street, from Dennis to Thacher; Thacher street, from County street to the railroad bridge; North Main, from Blackington bridge to the North Attleboro line; Commonwealth avenue and Holden street, from North Main to Bank street; in all, about fourteen miles. The


49


amount expended by Mr. Manchester for repairs, includ- ing the re-covering of Deantown bridge, was $899.46. North Main street, from Holden street to the North Attleboro line, Thacher street, from West to County, County street, from Thacher to Tiffany street and Com- monwealth avenue have been worked the entire length. A large amount of rock, stone and sod from the sides removed, the roadway increased several feet in width and well rounded. Some over 1,200 loads of good gravel have been used in surfacing parts of North avenue, West Clifton and the Deantown road, and over 600 loads re- moved from streets, so that with the exception of Den- nis street, Tiffany street and a part of Thacher street, the roads in this division are in most excellent condition.


The village of Attleboro, with its ten miles or more of streets, with about twenty-five miles of outside roads, which embrace South Main street to Thacher street, Ma- ple street, Park street, and all roads east, and those lead- ing from it: Pleasant street, Lindsey street, Richardson avenue and the old Union road, comprises what is desig- nated the North Division, and is under the direct super- vision of the superintendent of streets.


The highway department occupies the Pine street end of the Tinkham lot, so-called, at which place we have our barn, sheds, scales, roller house, boiler house and crusher plant, with room sufficient to store a large amount of crushed and uncrushed stone and other ma- terial. As the town owns the horses and have to employ permanent men, the department has to continue the high- way work through the year.


The men and teams in the early part of the year were engaged in carting stone from the various banks to the yard, which has resulted in a large saving to the town. The price paid for stone delivered at the yard is


50


40 cents per ton. By saving the stone at the banks in the summer we have been enabled to keep the men and teams employed in the winter, at no more expense !: ) the town than though they were standing in the barn. There has been during the year 400 two-horse and 1,550 one-horse loads of stone carted into the yard, a total of about 2.500 tons at a cost of a little less than 20 cents per ton. About the first of March, Mr. Geo. H. Mosher, who had occupied the position of foreman. was dis- charged and Herbert Caswell was appointed in his place and has filled the position with entire satisfaction. As soon as the ground opened in March, work was com- menced on Maple street and a most satisfactory job ac- complished, some large rocks. two knolls and the hill in front of the Frank Claflin place removed, and the street from this point to Day street graded. about 8" of good gravel being used as a top dressing. Early in the spring all of the roads in this division, with the ex- ception of Richardson avenue, a part of Park street and the Union road, receiving proper attention, the road machine being used to good advantage in widening and rounding up the roadway, and in some places a coat of gravel was applied. Park street, from Pine to Frark Cummings' house has received a dressing of gravel; Pleasant street, from Forrest street to Alger's corner has been picked up. A large amount of waste material re- 12.OVed, and has received a good dressing of gravel, laici down with the roller. Portions of the following streets have been graveled : South Main. Bank. Dean, Sanford, Dunham, First, Second, Third, Forrest, Perrin, Ellis and Manchester streets ; the roller being used in some cases Holman street, from Morey to Thacher Brook Drain has been built with good sidewalks on both sides. The ma- terial to build the street was taken from Union and Put e


51


streets. Union street from Park to Capron, Pine street from Park to School, and Park street from Pine to Union have been picked up and from eight to ten inches in depth of material removed to Holman and other streets; these streets then received a coating of crushed stone 8" thick, well .aid down with the steam roller; about 1,700 tons of crushed stone was used for this work. The amount of material handled the past year by the department has bren 400 two-horse and 1,550 one-horse loads of st ;ne, carte di to the crusher from streets, banks, etc., which are now at the yard and ready for next season's work. 1,400 loads of crushed stone to streets; 5,100 loads of gravel from banks to streets; 500 loads from stree's; 650 loads from banks to dump; 2,500 loads moved from street to street ; a total of 12,200 loads. Amount expen- ded for labor and gravel, $4,967.51.


By an arrangement made with the Selectmen and Fire Engineers, the Highway Department have the use of the fire horses, but as they are not to be employed outside of the half mile limit from the hose houses, the value of the same to the Highway Department for gen- eral work is of not much value. They have been em- ployed the past year, when the weather would admit on sidewalk work and the cleaning of streets, and one pair was during the hot dry months of the summer em- ployed for street sprinkling. Two of the permanent men of the Fire Department have been employed a part of the time, securing for their work the same pay per hour that has been paid the highway men, one cleaning streets and sidewalk work, the other street sprinkling and such other work as we could find for him to do, which is not much during the winter months. Outside of the Fire De- partment men, one man has been employed all of the time ; two most of the time and three a part of the time.


52


A large amount of work has been performed by these men in cleaning streets and building sidewalks. Law- rence Flanagan, one of the Fire Department men has had the immediate charge of this work and has given good satisfaction. The amount of work performed has been 1,600 loads removed from streets and gutters ; 1,100 loads of gravel and cinders used for the repairs of side- walks ; a total of 2,700 loads handled.


A large share of the above loads were two-horse loads. The expense of this part of the highway work to the department has been : Cost of hay, grain, shoeing, etc., $622.43 ; Fire Department men, $368.25; other men, $902 ; total, $1,892.68. Received from street sprinkling, $350 ; making a total cost to the department of $1,542.68.


The property of the Highway Department consists of one 12-ton steam roller, stone crusher, engine and equipments, including a Fairbank's scale ;5 I-horse tip carts : 1 2-horse tip cart ; 13 snow ploughs ; 2 new road machines ; 3 water carts; I sewer wagon; 3 horses; 3 single and 3 set of double harnesses; 2steel and 2 side ploughs; I small dump-cart and a large assortment of small tools, such as picks, shovels, rakes, hoes, etc. The above, wear and tear considered, are in good service- able condition. We have had to expend some $300 the past year in repairs to the crusher, and as the wood- work underground is rotting out, more money will have to be expended for repairs the coming year. There are also on hand at the yard over 2,500 tons of crushed and uncrushed stone ; 300 loads of loam ; a lot of brick, bound stone etc.
